Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sanitary outlet part, with an inlet opening, which is adapted for attachment to a fitting, and with an outlet opening, wherein in a flow path between the inlet opening and the outlet opening a jet regulator unit is arranged with at least one ventilation opening.
  • the invention further relates to a use of a sanitary outlet part.
  • the jet regulator unit is used to add air to a stream of water, which gives it more pleasant jet properties.
  • the use of a jet regulator unit makes special demands on a downstream water outlet, as it must be avoided if possible that the shaped water jet is impaired and disturbed.
  • the invention has for its object to expand the applications of a sanitary outlet part.
  • the secondary outlet opening is formed in the use position above the jet regulator unit. Thus, it is avoidable for water to leak from the sub-discharge port when the outlet is opened.
  • the secondary outlet forms a running at an angle to the flow path and against a flow direction of the flow path channel at the open end of the secondary outlet opening is formed.
  • the flow path is formed valve-free at least behind the jet regulator unit.
  • the aerated water jet is up to the water outlet at the outlet as little as possible affected, disturbed or changed.
  • a ventilation chamber is formed, which extends outside the flow path, wherein the at least one ventilation opening is connected to the ventilation chamber.
  • a distribution of air to the ventilation holes is possible.
  • the jet regulator unit may thus be fed with air from the aeration chamber.
  • the ventilation chamber is annular in shape to allow for all-round ventilation along a full circumference.
  • the secondary outlet is branched off from the ventilation chamber.
  • an air flow which is sucked in use from the ventilation openings flows over the secondary outlet. This allows drying of the secondary outlet when not in use. Thus, the risk of colonization of pathogens in the secondary outlet is reduced.
  • an inner diameter of the outlet opening is tuned to a predetermined by the jet regulator unit beam diameter.
  • the shaped water jet can emerge undisturbed. Since especially the outer layers of the water jet determine an optical appearance outside the water outlet, so unwanted adverse effects are avoidable.
  • the inner diameter is slightly larger than the beam diameter, for example at most so much greater that a jet of water exiting the jet regulator unit, despite the unavoidable beam expansion does not touch the outlet, but exits without contact. This allows a completely trouble-free escape even of the expanded water jet from the outlet.
  • the ventilation chamber is separated from the flow path by a closed wall, in which the at least one ventilation opening is formed.
  • a closed wall in which the at least one ventilation opening is formed.
  • the jet regulator unit comprises a diffuser.
  • aeration of the water jet is easily accessible by means known per se.
  • the jet regulator unit has a flow regulator.
  • a flow rate pressure-independent - at least within a pressure-working range - can be designed. The spray pattern is thus easier to control, and legal requirements can be met, even for the downstream secondary outlet.
  • At least one diffuser outlet opening is arranged radially inside the wall.
  • the addition of air takes place.
  • the flow is particularly uneven, so that the risk of splashing water is particularly high.
  • the arrangement within the wall may help to prevent splash water from entering the sub-outlet.
  • the secondary outlet is dry outside its intended use dry.
  • a thread is formed, which can be screwed with a mating thread of a valve.
  • the outlet part is firmly attached to the fitting. A force caused by a flow resistance generated by the jet regulator unit is thus receivable by the screw connection. It is therefore achievable that the sanitary outlet part remains at the valve even at a high operating pressure.
  • a sealing ring is inserted in the inlet opening.
  • an undesirable leakage of water at the inlet opening is avoidable. This is particularly advantageous at high operating pressures or flow rates, since the jet regulator unit usually forms a considerable flow resistance.
  • the jet regulator unit can be used as a cartridge via the inlet opening and / or removed.
  • the jet regulator unit is easily replaceable, for example, in case of contamination or limescale deposits.
  • Standard available jet regulator units are also usable, if a receiving interior is dimensioned accordingly.
  • a housing forming the inlet opening, the outlet opening and / or the secondary outlet opening is made of a dimensionally stable material.
  • the used jet regulator unit can be protected from external mechanical damage.
  • the housing is preferably made of plastic, for example POM (polyoxymethylene). This allows a stable and visually and / or haptically appealing design, especially in coordination with the fitting.
  • the housing can also be made of metal.
  • the jet regulator unit is inserted into the outlet opening, for example through the inlet opening.
  • a direct forwarding of the shaped water jet, as it exits the jet regulator unit can be reached in the outlet opening.
  • the jet regulator unit has an outer diameter at least in one end region, which is tuned to an inner diameter of the outlet opening.
  • the jet regulator unit is easily held in a predetermined position. It is particularly favorable when the outer diameter is so much larger than the inner diameter that the jet regulator unit is held by the outlet opening.
  • the outlet opening can be closed with a finger.
  • a user can easily close the outlet without additional valves to use the sub-outlet.
  • a preferred application of the invention provides for the use of a sanitary outlet part according to the invention, in particular as described above and / or according to one of the claims directed to a sanitary outlet part, to use the sanitary outlet part on a shenitararmatur, in particular a washing and / or drinking pool, wherein the sanitary outlet part is mounted on a tap outlet, in particular screw-mounted.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 show different views of a designated as a whole with 1 sanitary outlet part.
  • the sanitary outlet part 1 has an inlet opening 2 and a Outlet opening 3.
  • the inlet opening 2 is arranged in a manner known per se for attachment to a fitting outlet of a fitting.
  • a flow path 4 for water Between the inlet opening 2 and the outlet opening 3 runs in the sanitary outlet part 1, a flow path 4 for water.
  • a jet regulator unit 5 is arranged in a manner also known per se, which is flowed through by the liquid in the flow path 4.
  • the jet regulator unit 5 has at least one ventilation opening 6, here even a multiplicity of ventilation openings 6. Air enters through the at least one ventilation opening 6 from the outside in order to mix with the water in the flow path 4 to form a ventilated jet.
  • a secondary outlet 7 is formed, through which water can escape out of the flow path 4 to the outside without flowing through the outlet opening 3.
  • the secondary outlet 7 is branched off from the flow path 4 between the jet regulator unit 5 and the outlet opening 3.
  • the secondary outlet 7 is led out to a secondary outlet opening 8 which is laterally spaced from the flow path 4 and formed separately from the outlet opening 3.
  • the sub-outlet 7 forms a channel 9, which extends to the sub-outlet opening 8.
  • the sub-outlet opening 8 is thus formed at the open end 25 of the channel 9.
  • This channel 9 has a channel axis 10 which extends at an angle to the flow path 4 and thus to the longitudinal axis 11.
  • the course direction of the channel 9 is aligned obliquely upward and thus against the flow direction of the flow path 4, which is directed substantially downwards.
  • the flow path 4 is formed valve-free at least behind the jet regulator unit 5.
  • a ventilation chamber 12 is formed which communicates with the secondary outlet 7.
  • the ventilation chamber 12 is annular and surrounds the ventilation openings 6 such that air can enter through the auxiliary outlet 7 in order to flow to the ventilation openings 6.
  • the ventilation openings 6 can be fed with air via the ventilation chamber 12 and the secondary outlet openings 8 from the surroundings.
  • the ventilation chamber 12 extends outside of the regular flow path 4, so that no water or substantially no water enters the ventilation chamber 12 during normal operation.
  • the secondary outlet 7 is branched off from the aeration chamber 12 behind the jet regulator unit 5, so that water emerging from the ventilation openings 6 - this occurs in a manner to be described in more detail when the outlet opening 3 is closed - into the secondary outlet 7 and further out of the Side outlet opening 8 emerges.
  • the outlet opening 3 is matched to the jet regulator unit 5 such that an inner diameter of the outlet opening 3 is greater than a jet diameter of the jet emerging from the jet regulator unit 5. Thus, a regularly exiting water jet does not wet the edge of the outlet opening 3.
  • the ventilation chamber 12 is separated from the flow path 4 by a closed wall 13, which is broken only by the ventilation openings 6.
  • the jet regulator unit 5 has a known diffuser 14, with which the ventilation of the water jet in the flow path 4 is reached or triggered.
  • Upstream of the diffuser 14 is also a known quantity regulator 15, which is set up for setting a pressure-independent flow rate per unit time within a working range.
  • volume regulator 15 ensures that at the outlet opening 3, a shaped, aerated jet with the desired spray pattern emerges virtually independently of the pressure conditions at the inlet opening 2.
  • diffuser outlet openings 16 are formed downstream, which open inside the wall 13.
  • a rectifier 17, which makes the ventilated steel in the flow path 4 uniform, is formed downstream of the wall.
  • a front screen 18 is arranged on the inflow side to the flow regulator 15 or at least on one upstream side of the jet regulator unit 5.
  • a thread 19 is formed at the inlet opening 2, which is screwed with a corresponding mating thread on a fitting outlet.
  • a sealing ring 20 is inserted, with which the sanitary outlet part 1 is sealable to the valve.
  • the jet regulator unit 5 is formed as part of a cartridge 21 which can be inserted via the inlet opening 2.
  • the jet regulator unit 5 is supplemented by a cartridge housing 24, which also forms the wall 13.
  • Cartridge housing 24 also supports rectifier 17.
  • the described branch of the secondary outlet 7 is thus arranged between the jet regulator unit 5 and the rectifier 17.
  • the inlet opening 2, the outlet opening 3 and the secondary outlet opening 8 with the associated channel 9 are formed in a housing 22, which is made of plastic or metal and thus dimensionally stable.
  • the cartridge-shaped jet regulator unit 5 can be inserted through the inlet opening 2 into the outlet opening 3 such that the jet regulator unit 5 sits in the outlet opening 3 at least in its end region 23.
  • the outer diameter of the end region 23 is matched to the inner diameter of the outlet opening 3 such that the jet regulator unit 5 is held against the water pressure at the inlet opening 2.
  • the outlet opening 3 is dimensioned so that it can be closed with a finger, for example with a forefinger of typical size.
  • the water in the flow path 4 can no longer flow away through the outlet opening 3. It seeks another way out and enters through the ventilation holes 6 in the secondary outlet 7 and from there via the channel 9 from the secondary outlet opening 8 out.
  • the orientation of the channel axis 10 results in an obliquely upwardly directed jet, which emerges in a moderately wide arc, so that on the one hand drinking or mouth rinsing is possible, but the water jet on the other hand not via a sink, which is arranged below the valve, overshoots.
  • the water jet dries up from the secondary outlet opening 8, and the intake air for aeration of the water in the flow path 4 causes the channel 9 and the secondary outlet 7 to dry out.
  • the sanitary outlet part 1 shown is screwed in a preferred use of a tap outlet of a sanitary fitting of a washing and / or drinking water.
  • the sanitary outlet part 1 is thus proposed according to the invention, between an inlet opening 2 and an outlet opening 3 in a flow path 4, which leads through a jet regulator unit 5, behind the jet regulator unit 5 to branch off a secondary outlet 7, which led to an additional secondary outlet opening 8 is such that water entering via the inlet opening 2 at least then exits to the secondary outlet opening 8 when the outlet opening 3 of the sanitary outlet part 1 is closed.
